 Good point, Hank.    My guess is that most of the manufacturers have 
 engineers with limited educations.  .  For instance, all of the 
 Ameritron/MFJ amps use a HV ''bypass'' cap that has 88-ohms of Xc at 
 1.8MHz (1000pF).   What kind of a bypass is 88-ohms of Xc?   During a 
 debate with Ameritron/MFJ's head engineer, it became apparent that he did 
 not understand algebraic or scientific notation.

IT COULD BE THAT MFJ IS A BIT LIKE THE EARLY HEATHKIT COMPANY(circa 
1950's)......HEY WE HAVE A TON OF THESE SURPLUS CAPS, THEY "LOOK" ABOUT 
RIGHT, LETS USE THESE!            HANK
